Barely Awake

[float_on_alright]

Wednesday morning’s 5:50am class turned out to be “Pedal, Crunch, Kick” wherein the instructor yelled about going faster and harder on and off for about 20 minutes of pain and sweat, we did a bit of kickboxing, and then some ab work. I don’t think I will ever go to that class again, because those spin bikes have bike seats from Hell and I am bruised in places I do not find acceptable. I’m less sore today, but yesterday, all day, I was just hurting. Today my quads are seriously sore. I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring since yesterday they felt like jelly and were sore but not as sore as they were today. Normally the worst recovery pain from exercise is 36 - 48 hours after the initial exercise which means now or in about 12 hours so “fingers crossed” that the worst of the pain is now and not tomorrow. It’s not like it’s unbearable right now, but it does make it difficult when I go to like sit down or stand up. 

 

I’m tired as all hell, just damned exhausted. When got home last night I had a nap which was super helpful. I slept for about 45 minutes. I remember wondering if I was going to be able to sleep and the next thing I remember is being startled by the alarm. The nap made me feel so much better, so much more awake, and put me in a much better mood. It allowed me to be able to watch a movie with the folks while we had dinner, write a little, and pack my bag for this weekend. I’m down at the beach now, just for a few days. I’m excited about being down here this weekend. 

 

I want to talk about the Active Shooter Training I did this morning and I want to meet the writing goal I set for myself for the week, but I don’t know if I can be awake much longer today. I got to sleep in a little this morning, but with everything else that’s gone on this week in addition t the drive down to the beach, I can barely hold my eyes open. I guess I’m going to have to try to write the 1,600 words I still need for the week, tomorrow. 

 

Wish me luck!
